EarthLink TechCare is a powerful tool that businesses can leverage to increase their productivity as well as relieve pressure on internal IT staff, typically saving up to 70% of the cost an in-house help desk service.

But don’t take our word for it. Industry analysts also praise outsourced help desk solutions.

“Businesses are under continual pressure to do more with the same budgets, and often lack the resources to keep up with the increased complexity and risk in the IT world. Outsourcing help desk functions has long been seen as a viable target for strategically distributing budget while potentially improving productivity and end user response times,” remarked Carl Brooks, infrastructure and cloud computing analyst, Tier1 Research, a division of 451 Research. “Providers that offer a professional, scalable solution are in a good position to attract customers that are feeling the pinch around IT staffing levels but still want to try and streamline rote support functions.”
